Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for systematic, controlled removal of sterile products from blister packs for use during eye surgery.
  • sterile products are often provided in blister packs. These products of have sensitive surfaces, such as a lens.
  • non-sterile user such as the operating room nurse
  • opens the blister pack The outside of the blister pack is not sterile and must be touched to open the closed blister pack. Then, non-sterile user must perform hand disinfection before removing items from the opened blister pack. This complicates and lengthens the surgical procedure and makes accidental contamination and loss of sterility more likely.
  • Document US 5 390 792 A discloses a blister package including a rigid resiliently flexible container having sidewalls, end walls, and a substantially flat bottom wall.
  • the sidewalls, end walls, and flat bottom wall collectively define a well adapted to receive and protectively house a liquid filled vial in a sterile environment.
  • Document US 5 485 917 A discloses a thermoformed blister package with a blister tray and a cover. Finger pads formed into the bottom of the tray are sufficiently spaced along the longitudinal axis of the tray, such that pressing the pads with the thumbs of both hands while engaging the top of a flange of the tray with the remaining fingers of the hands along end sections and of the flange, respectively, causes undercut projections for retaining the shaft of a trocar in a cavity of the tray to rotate away. Thereby, a gap between the undercut projections is caused to increase sufficiently to effectively allow the cannula tube of the trocar to be released from the cavity.
  • Document EP 0 307 495 A1 discloses a surgical instrument for performing intraocular surgeries.
  • This disclosure provides a way to allow removal of the sterile items with sensitive surfaces from the blister pack without requiring the non-sterile user to perform hand disinfection.
  • This object is achieved by blister packs according to claims 1 and 2 as well as a method for removing a sterile eye surgery instrument from a blister pack according to claim 7.
  • the disclosure relates to a method of using a blister pack with sterile products inside, removing the protective layer from the blister pack, inverting the blister pack, placing the blister pack on a sterile surface, pressing on at least one defined pressure point on the back of the blister pack, and removing the blister pack.
  • the disclosure relates to a method of using a blister pack with sterile products inside, removing the protective layer from the blister pack, inverting the blister pack, placing the blister pack on a sterile surface, removing a removable lug from at least one defined point on the back of the blister pack, and removing the blister pack.
  • the disclosure relates to a blister back with a sterile holding area, a sterile eye surgery instrument, and at least one point marked on the back of the back of the blister pack for controlled removal of the sterile eye surgery instrument.
  • This disclosure provides a way to allow removal of the sterile items with sensitive surfaces from the blister pack without requiring the non-sterile user to perform hand disinfection.
  • This disclosure provides a blister pack with defined pressure points and methods of its use.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are blister pack 100.
  • the front 110 of a blister pack 100 includes two sterile holding areas 120, 130.
  • Each sterile holding area is shown with a single sterile eye surgery instrument (e.g. sterile eye surgery instrument 122, sterile eye surgery instrument 132).
  • Blister packs with a single sterile holding area are also possible. More than the one sterile eye surgery instrument may be placed in a single sterile holding area.
  • the back 190 of blister pack 100 is shown.
  • the location of sterile holding areas 120 and 130 and pressure points 140, 150, 160, and 170 are shown. Pressure points 140, 150, 160, and 170 are located within the sterile holding areas 120 and 130.
  • Non-limiting examples of sterile eye surgery instruments that could be used during eye surgery, such as refractive surgery, is an applanation cone or a lens.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are actually marked with a circled "X" at pressure points 140, 150, 160, and 170.
  • markings are optional for any or all pressure points 140, 150, 160, and 170, and if marked, other indicators may be used such as an "X" mark or an embossed word, e.g. "push.”
  • pressure points 140, 150, 160, and 170 are marked on the rear surface 190 of blister pack 100 and not on the front surface 110. If the blister pack requires that the pressure points be pressed in a particular order or in particular combinations, then the blister pack will be so marked.
  • the invention does not require the rear surface 190 of blister pack 100 to be sterile.
  • Pressure points are placed to avoid sensitive spots or brittle spots on the sterile eye surgery instruments.
  • the absence of such defined pressure points means an increased risk of damage, especially to sensitive surfaces during removal of the sterile eye surgery instrument.
  • the sterile eye surgery instrument should drop out at a controlled time and in a controlled manner.
  • blister pack 100 may include movable lugs instead of any one or more of the pressure points.
  • the movable lugs are designed to keep the inside of blister pack 100 sterile when they are moved, e.g. actuated, removed, moved, or unscrewed.
  • FIG. 3 is an elevation view of the front of a blister pack 200 with defined pressure points.
  • the front 210 of a blister pack 200 includes two sterile holding areas 220, 230.
  • Each sterile holding area is shown with a single sterile eye surgery instrument (e.g. sterile eye surgery instrument 222, sterile eye surgery instrument 232).
  • Blister packs with a single sterile holding area are also possible. More than one sterile eye surgery instruments may be placed in a single sterile holding area.
  • the location of sterile holding areas 220 and 230 and pressure points 240, 250, and 260 are shown.
  • FIG. 4 is an elevation view of the back of the blister pack 200 with defined pressure points.
  • the back 290 of blister pack 200 is shown.
  • FIG. 5 is flow chart of a method of using a blister pack with defined removal sites, such as blister pack 100.
  • operating room (OR) preparation or an eye surgery procedure is begun, 302.
  • a protective cover is removed from the blister pack, 504.
  • the blister pack is inverted onto a sterile surface, 506. It is important to maintain the surface and the inside of the blister pack as both sterile.
  • the blister pack requires that the pressure points be pressed in a particular order or in particular combinations, then the blister pack will be so marked.
  • the pressure points are removable lugs that are removed at this step.
  • the blister pack is removed from the sterile surface, 510.
